Not directly, but:

Using MS Word (2003 edition so a long while ago) and either Access or 
Excel as the data source I could print labels and customised letters. 
The feature was called "Mailmerge".  For labels, setting the correct 
label type (Avery XXXX or whatever) was critical to getting the correct 
size, inter-label gaps, margins, and total number of labels per page. 
There was also some trick to getting several sequential labels per page, 
or just one.

It may be worth setting yours to print to a PDF printer to see what size 
paper it thinks its trying to send to the real printer.
